Like me, a deals maniac, SteelSeries have obviously caught the [cms-block] bug a wee bit early, because they’ve got some great member discounts on some of our favourite gaming mice, keyboards and headset picks – many of which beat the prices you’ll find on Amazon this week. They’re among some of the best [cms-block] and [cms-block] out there, and since ‘member’ here means ‘person who has signed up to their website for free’, you should probably take a look if you’re in the market for clicky-clacks or speaky-hears.

There are some not-insignificant reductions on some of SteelSeries’ most premium hardware, including £40 off the flashy Apex Pro keyboard. Plus, one of our favourite gaming mice, the Rival 310 is down to a dealstastic £35.

The pandemic has forced many companies to challenge their ideas about how they make games, especially about having everyone together in offices. Final Fantasy makers Square Enix shifted to working from home this year, and it’s gone so well that they’re choosing to open this up as a permanent option for many. They say this will let them increase flexibility and diversity, help with work-life balance, and ultimately be more creative. They expect 80% of employees will be working from home when this scheme launches next month. It’s pretty great to see such a prolific company being open to this.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

is the latest in Activision’s giant FPS series. We’ve been playing a whole lot of it, including the fancy pants campaign with all its branching options, as well as our classic bread-and-butter multiplayer guides. We’ve even been diving into Zombies mode, which has been an absolute treat, and unearthing special strats to help you get all the way to the later rounds.

As [cms-block] edges ever closer, another PC game sale emerges from the fold. Fanatical have kicked off their Black Friday offers with some excellent discounts – including 56% off both Death Stranding and the new ultimate edition of Control. Fanatical’s sale boasts 5336 deals in total, which is an awful lot. But fear not, I’ve had a rummage through and picked out a few more highlights so you don’t have to go scrounging through them all yourself.

A Monster Hunter movie from the director of Resident Evil could never actually be like Monster Hunter the game… unless Capcom made the game like the movie. Which they are. They’ve announced a crossover event between Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and the upcoming movie, where we’ll get to play as Milla Jovovich’s character from the Paul W. S. Anderson flick and earn her armour for keepsies. They’ve even got Milla to voice her character in these new singleplayer quests.

Merry [cms-block] week to all you deals fiends out there, and what a trio of [cms-block] I have got lined up for you this morning. Over on Amazon UK, the 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB versions of the excellent WD Blue SN550 have been hit with some record-breaking price cuts. The main highlight here is the 1TB model on sale for just £80 – that’s £5 cheaper than Prime Day, making it a new record low price for this capacity.

Call of Duty Cold War’s Zombies mode

is, in my opinion, best played with a squad of pals, jumping into Die Maschine and wreaking havoc on the undead constantly emerging from the ground. However, sometimes I’m absolutely sick of having to run around rescuing my pals from screaming freaks, and am extremely not up for going into a game with randomers. For that, here’s how to play solo in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies.

In Cold War’s Zombies mode, you have the opportunity to pick out your own gun if you fancy. I’d recommend doing this early on and upgrading it as you go, since being able to choose your own attachments is a fantastic way to maximise your salvage and loot drops. Here’s our pick for the best Zombies starting loadout and Field Upgrades.
